Patented Aug. 15, 1933 Q UNITED STATESJPATENI': OFFICE l 1,922,255 CLEANING POLISHING OUTFIT James T. Miller, Utica, N. Y. Application August 26, 1931. Serial No. 559,513

3 Claims. (01. 206-47) 7 My invention relates to a cleaning and polish ing outfit and I declare the following to be a full, clear, concise and exact description thereof sufficient to enable anyone skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a device in which all the essentials for cleaning and polishing an automobile, furniture or other object will be retained in a pack, whereby they will be. accessible. To this'end the invention utilizes a hollow cone upon which cotton yarn has been wound to a considerable thickness. A container with cleaning fluid is disposed within thehollow cone. i

The device can be used also for cleaning ones hands.

The object of the invention will be further understood byreferring to the drawing in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device showing posed a metal container 3 holding any suitable cleaning solution. The metal container 3 is of,

conical shape to conform to the interior of cone 1. It will be held in cone 1 by friction and tend to lend support to the contiguous wall of cone 1. It canbe easily removed therefrom by grasping the side near the base 4 or by jarring cone 1.

At suitable intervals when winding the yarn 2 upon cone 1, paper or cloth strips or tabs 5 are disposed between successivelayers in such manner that the upper ends of tabs 5 project beyond the upper surface of the yarn.

Tabs 5 designate the proper thickness or layer of yarn for stripping to form a suitableamount for cleaning and polishing, purposes and also to facilitate the removal of successive layers of yarn from the remaining layers on cone 1. Each of the tabs 5 being embedded in successive layers of yarn on cone 1, a pull on the outermost tab 5 will cause the yarn wound on the cone 1 beyond or outside of the respective tab 5 to break from its windings on cone 1 and fall down, whereby it can be stripped off as illustrated in Fig. 1.

When using the cleaning outfit, the operator grasps the upper end of one of the papers 5 and strips down the yarn the whole length of the cone, and then severs the connecting thread. The yarn thus stripped down will be in the form of a skein through which thehand can be inserted, as in the manner of a glove or it may be bunched and used in the ordinary manner of a cleaning and polishing cloth. The container 3 can be removed and sufficient of the cleaning fluid dropped upon the skein of yarn thus removed for cleaning purposes. p

It will be observed that a great many cleaning cloths may thus be stripped from the cone 1 before the supply is exhausted.

Although I have described the outfit for use in cleaning an automobile it may be used also for cleaning the hands in which instance a container 3 will hold the liquid or dry powdered soap. Other uses will appear to those skilled in the art.

. Having thus described my invention what. I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent is as follows:

1. In a cleaning and polishing outfit, a member adapted to hold successive layers of yarn thereon,

and means embedded in said yarn forfacilitating the removal of successive layersof yarn.

2. In a cleaning and polishing outfit, a member for holding yarn thereon and tabs embedded in said yarn to facilitate the stripping of successive layers from said member.

3. In a cleaning and polishing outfit, a conical member for holding yarn thereon, and tabs disposed between successive layers of said yarn to facilitate the stripping thereof.
